You could also use 'animo' or even 'menti' (or 'in corde', 'in animo' or 'in mente'--Cicero prefers 'in' + the ablative, Sallust and Livy the dative construction) instead of 'cordi'.

'Multa honestas' might be possible, but 'multa' is more usual when measuring number, 'magna' when measuring quantity; 'multa honestas' (or 'multus honos') would mean 'many an honour is in him, etc.'. I should also prefer 'honestas' ('moral probity, soundness of character') or 'fides' ('good faith, trustiworthiness, etc.' to 'honos', as the latter is more commonly used of outward signs of respect rather than one's personality, especially of the distinction or honour of attaining to magistracies and senatorial office. But this would depend upon the nuance you want to give it.
